Replacing the toner cartridge

When the toner cartridge reaches its estimated cartridge life.

  • The red LED is on.

  • The machine stops printing.

At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Check the type of the toner cartridge for your machine. (See Available supplies.)

  1. Open the front cover.

  2. Pull the toner cartridge out.

  3. Take a new toner cartridge out of its package.

  4. Remove the paper protecting the toner cartridge by pulling the packing tape.

  5. Locate the sealing tape at the end of the toner cartridge. Carefully pull the tape completely out of the cartridge and discard it.

    [Note]
    • The sealing tape should be longer than 60 cm when correctly removed.

    • Holding the toner cartridge, pull the sealing tape straight to remove it from the cartridge. Be careful not to cut the tape. If this happens, you cannot use the toner cartridge.

    • Refer to the helpful pictures on the cartridge wrapping paper.

  6. Slowly shake the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. It will assure maximum copies per cartridge.

    [Note]

    If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

    [Caution]

    Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

  7. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine.

    Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

  8. Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
